- Cotton Canvas Construction: Made of heavy 100% cotton canvas. Wax (or spray) before use to help hold the water.

During the Second World War, the US Army issued the collapsible folding canvas water bucket to motorised and cavalry units. This portable vessel was a standard accessory for the Willys MB and Ford GPW Jeeps, typically mounted alongside jerry cans. Vehicle crews relied on it to top up radiators and perform field maintenance.
This accurate reproduction is made from olive drab 100% cotton canvas. The bucket is built without a rigid metal frame, allowing it to fold completely flat for compact storage. It features heavy-duty stitching on the seams, a 29 cm circular base, a 26 cm standing height, and a stencilled black U.S. marking.
Ideal for living history re-enactments, period camp setups, or vehicle displays, this collapsible bucket serves as a functional utility pail. It holds approximately 11 litres of water for vehicle maintenance, camp washing, or fire fighting. The heavy canvas fibres swell upon contact with water, helping to seal the seams naturally.
Complete your vintage military vehicle display or tactical camp setup with this accurate reproduction canvas bucket.
Care Instructions
To achieve an improved seal, we would recommend using a wax or waterproofing before its first field use. Always dry thoroughly in a shaded area after use to prevent mould and mildew from weakening the cotton stitching.
